Make Schools Safe

Seen on social media regarding school shootings:

Arguing about guns is getting tiresome. The same impossible-to-implement gun control ideas are trotted out after every shooting with a fixation on the scary objects.

Few of you on my friends list know I dedicated years of my life right after college to a program born out of Columbine that's the most effective at reducing school shooting tragedies and that I've traveled the country visit to middle schools and high schools in 30+ states speaking and doing work to make schools safer. I am an expert on this school safety topic and also somewhat of an expert on guns as they're a big part of my life from also working in the hunting/outdoor industry for years and being a CCW holder, and well-trained gun owner and dedicated sportsman and shooter.

And I am friends with the top experts doing the best work in schools to make them safer, several of which were at the White House this week.

If anyone wants to talk actual solutions to make our children safer and school shootings less frequent, here's my suggestions on things that will actually work:

1. Fatherlessness needs to be addressed.
2. Adults need to be held accountable. 
3. Boys need safe environments to fight and let out their physical aggression (martial arts, boxing, etc.).
4. The role of pharmaceutical drugs needs to be thoroughly investigated. 
5. Training kids to huddle together as stationary targets on the ground has to stop.
6. Empower and encourage teachers and school administrators to have a plan. 
7. We need to improve the culture of our nation and our schools.
